Sound logic.

Knowing there are no better speakers in the world than Britain's best--how, then, do you choose?

Precisely.

You choose a speaker, first of all, to satisfy the precise requirements of the world's number one expert on the subject of your taste: you.

Your choice of speakers is governed, of course, by the amount you have to spend.

But you're aware, too, that if you come to the right place, you'll find, within the range of prices and performance characteristics, the pure, natural, unrestricted sound quality that you feel belongs in your hi-fi system.

Welcome to the right place--Great Britain. It's no farther than your nearest Celestion dealer. There you will find a full range of Britain's finest speakers--Celestion. Full range, yes. But all with one underlying standard of Celestion fidelity, as high as your highest expectations.

That's because all of our components are entirely of our own make-and have been for five decades. That includes our crafted enclosures, our own speaker system assemblies. All our components are precision-engineered and matched to deliver the broadest range of sound smoothly and uniformly for the flattest response possible.

Take our Ditton 33. It provides natural, open sounding performance. With color-free tonal quality and the widest dispersion of even the highest frequencies. Sound superiority that is perceptibly better to the ear. And we're counting on your making careful comparisons to judge that superiority for yourself.

All three Ditton speakers shown here with their proud specs, right down to the diminutive bookshelf UL 6, are value leaders in their category. All superbly crafted in teak or walnut wood finishes to grace any decor.

Now where is this gifted collection to be found? Not just at any dealer, we assure you. For a select list of Celestion dealers, simply mail us the coupon; and we'll respond post haste with the list.

Then go out there and compare Celestion with the whole world of speakers. Discover which comes closest to your ideal--to the music you can already hear in your own mind's ear. That's when you'll be ready to decide.

Sound idea. Don't you think? Dittos' 33 For exceptional performance, this compact speaker system employs a sealed enclosure, high compliance woofer, a transmission-line loaded midrange speaker, and a pressure-dome tweeter (the HD 1000) for smooth, even frequency response. Overall response is 25 Hz to 28,000 Hz. Here is the speaker pro portioned to fit the furnishing scheme of any room with out dominating it, yet able to optimize performance of the highest quality.

UL 6 A Grand Prix award winner for its natural sound and its dean 35 Hz to 28,000 Hz response. Speaker complement includes the new HD 1000 soft-dome tweeter, a bass driver with massive magnet and a 1.5 inch (38 mm) voice coil for high power handling.

The ABR unit is here, too, extending bass response while raising efficiency and reducing distortion. That difference, com pared with others in its own and higher price classes, is dramatic.

Ditton 15 XR -- Bass response is audibly extended to 30 Hz in the Ditton 15 XR -- a remarkable accomplishment for so compact an enclosure. That's achieved by our Auxiliary Bass Radiator (ABR) device, which also reduces Doppler and harmonic distortion, improves the system's dynamic range and power-handling while providing excellent efficiency. Tonal quality is comparable to the most expensive Celestion speaker.
